About Us

Welcome to Gen Brooklyn ! We are a casual dining restaurant located in the heart of Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, dedicated to serving comforting, authentic Japanese cuisine.

Right now is an incredibly exciting time to join our small, close-knit kitchen team. We are currently in a dynamic phase of growth—actively refining our internal operations, streamlining our workflows, and elevating our recipes to take our comforting menu to the next level. We aren't just looking for someone to execute a static menu; we are looking for a collaborative partner who wants to be a part of this journey. We are a passionate work-in-progress, and we want someone who is excited to help us build, shape, and smooth out our daily systems so we can grow together. Every member here has a voice and a hand in our success.

We are seeking a Prep Cook with a basic knowledge or true appreciation of Japanese cuisine, who thrives during phases of growth and wants to build something great with us for the long term.

What We Offer

  •   Competitive Pay: $17–$18/hour (based on experience).
  •   Consistent Schedule: 4 to 5 days a week.
  •   Growth Opportunities: Because we are actively evolving our operations, there is massive room for professional development, skill-building, and internal advancement.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience & Interest: Prior kitchen preparation experience along with a basic understanding or genuine appreciation of Japanese food.
  • The Right Attitude: A self-driven, curious mindset with a genuine desire to learn and a high sense of responsibility.
  • Collaboration & Flexibility: Open-mindedness is key as we refine our processes. We value excellent communication and the ability to receive feedback and direction maturely.
  • Operational Excellence: Punctuality, a strong work ethic, a natural sense of urgency, and a calm professionalism in a fast-paced environment.
  • An Eye for Detail: High standards for knife skills, cleanliness, organization, and portion accuracy.
  • Big Picture Vision: Someone with ambitious, long-term goals in the hospitality industry who wants to grow alongside our restaurant.
